Eng 1531

[NW Mailing List]

With all the talk about N&W #1531, I just looked at the builder's plate from that unit.  There is NO overspray of any paint on the plate.  This sometimes happens and it will give you a clue to the paint.  The plate is in good condition with only minor dings.  It survived the wreck.

Ron:
Eng. 1531 was the trailing unit in the consist that hit the gas truck in Abingdon
on 7/17/68 and it was 117 cars deep pushing Extra 1805 East at Finney on
8/25/70 when the SD45 collided with a westbound.  Apparently the SD35
had a knack for dodging trouble.             Harry Bundy
